The correct answer
is 2 – once a TNC has been referred in the E-Verify
system, the employee is provided 8 federal government workdays
to contact the agency to resolve the issue. Employers may
not terminate, suspend, delay training, withhold pay, lower
pay or take any other adverse action against an employee
while the TNC is being resolved.
Many
employers are now using the government's E-Verify system
in order to electronically confirm a new hire's eligibility
to work in the United States. Participating employers enter
the I-9 information into the system and must follow E-Verify
rules in the event they receive a tentative nonconfirmation
(or mismatch).
A company
submits a new hire to the E-Verify system and receives a
tentative nonconfirmation. Which of the following is true:
1.
The company can legally terminate the employee since E-Verify
was unable to immediately confirm work authorization.
2.
An employee is allowed 8 federal government workdays to
contact the government agency to resolve the issue.
3.
The employee may continue to work, but the employer cannot
offer training or pay
4.
Since E-Verify is a voluntary system, the employer can choose
to disregard the tentative nonconfirmation without penalty
